Here's a YouTube video of what may be a violation of the EPA's new RRP rule. The rule on controlling the spread of lead-tainted dust is now being enforced with fines up to $37,500.
Watch this shaky video, then read the comments from the poster of the video and let me know your thoughts.
Here's the text accompanying the YouTube video:
83 Park Street Rockland Maine October 11 2010
Project started within the last week.
No EPA or HUD Lead Safe Practices Slowing these guys down.
Section 8 Housing Children under 6,
There are strollers and childrens toys in the backyard covered in Lead Dust,
No steps were taken to contain the chips or dust that extends out onto the public sidewalk that is a favorite place to walk with strollers and toddlers..
No attemps of any sort of cleanup at the end of the day.
Once the Tenants start testing positive for lead poisoning this should get interesting..
Your thoughts?
it looks to be. across from a sherwin williams store though... what kind of district? these folks need to attend one of the lead paint classes or get the video at rrpvideo.com
there are folks like this all around. they will be made an example. sad is that some have never heard of rrp before... not sure how to argue a fine if the person never heard of it.
